Spring Registration
Our
on-line spring registration is now open. Athletes currently registered
with the club do not need to re-register. This is only for those who
did not swim for the club. If you would like to register you can click here.
Speedo Sectionals Akron Ohio
If your swimmer has met the qualifying standards and would like to attend this meet I need to know no later then this evening.
Swim Camps
I
received an email from the Purdue assistant coach about the camp they
are hosting this summer. As I receive swim camp information I will pass
it along to you. You can click here to visit their website and to register.
They are also offering club discounts. If 10 members our our club
register for the camp you will receive a $50 rebate when you check in
the first day of the camp. If we can get 15 members you will receive $75
rebate.
Last Day of the Winter Season/First Day of Spring-Summer Season
Our last practice for all groups will be March 22nd,
with the exception of the NP Group 1. The NP Group 1 will have their
last practice on the 19th due 3 middle school meets at New Prairie that
week. All swimmers will be moved to the long course season
(spring/summer) billing groups at the end of March.
If you are not planning on being part of the club during April please let me know sometime prior to March 15th
and I will put your swimmer on the inactive roster. If you have sent me
an email about withdrawing from the club you will not be billed any
more training fees. If you are please let me know immediately and I
will refund that amount back to your credit card.
Our first practices for the spring/summer season will be the week of April 8th-14th. This is the week we return from spring break.
New Pre-Competitive Program for Our Members
Starting this spring we will be piloting a program for 6-7 year old siblings of current and ACTIVE members. We are just in the planning stages but it looks like we will be on Monday
night from 6:00-7:00 and will be limited to 10 swimmers. Prospective
swimmers must already be able to swim one length of the pool. As we
develop this I will share the information with you.
We
have had 3 new advertisers to our website this season. These
advertisers were sold ad space by two of our families. It has generated
a total $725.85 of credit on their swim club accounts! We will give 50% of whatever money raised right back to to you!! The best sales commission ever?!
A
Group 2 or Group 3 annual membership plus all the other associated fees
with our membership -- spirit wear, meet surcharges, technology fees,
concession stand/hospitality fees, USA Swimming-- is just under $550 for
an entire year. (A Group 1 annual membership is about $100 less.) If
you were able to sell two of the the Premiere+ adds it could easily pay for a whole year of swimming including meet entry fees!
Selling a one year ad to one company could earn you anywhere from $50 to almost $500. Here is the link for more information.
Another
easy way to earn credit for your swim club account is to hang our
recruiting posters out in the public. For every poster you hang you will
receive a $5 credit up to $25. Once you hang the poster post a pic of
it on your Facebook page (or other social site) and tag the club.
As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
